fan base Beyoncé

[Draper.]

Next month, Bey will be the second female artist to have two songs released before 2010 over 1 billion streams. The other one is not Shakira, just saying.

It's cute people still think act ii is happening. This convo will be going on for a while because it's relevant. 

 

I did see a tweet that said Houston gets Megan and Travis and New Orleans will most likely get Big Freeda, what does that mean for KC? Hopefully the visuals.

She hates giving the people what they want.

I don't care to argue anymore about WHY Beyoncé should or should not be doing anything, but why do the SAME complaints need to be said over and over and over? At what point will we just accept that this is how Beyoncé is, and is going to be? Has any of the many complaints ever changed things? Do you feel better after complaining? And if so, why does it continue?

 

It's been the same talking points it since 2013. Why spend a decade being mad at Beyoncé for not promoting or whatever...at some point you're going to have to let it go and focus on enjoying the music, the era, the tour, the remixes...(and the parfum).

Its actually quite easy to explain why: because there is nothing else to talk about.

Do you want to talk about a perfume? Wait, no one has smelled it yet, sry.

Do you want to talk about the tour? But there are no changes, so also same old since 5 months.

Do you want to talk about her albums and do rating things? Also same old.

Do you want to talk about some fan theories that have nothing to them aside from being cute dreams? 

 

Like, we might as well close the thread then till sth happens cause there is nothing to talk about and there wont be anything to talk about cause she makes sure no one talks about her, the recording etc.

haha was just watching this video essay/commentary video that came out today and this British YouTuber used "Pretty Hurts" as the title credit song.

 

seems like people remember it! and daily Spotify streams are a trivial metric.

Chiiiile, that’s what happens when you get gaslit into a side conversation that was never the main point.

I'm sorry but the complaining, hostility and lashings are well deserved and nowhere as bad as they should be. 

The sabotaged singles releases/commercial strategies are one thing, whatever, but when you don't even bother to give some content to the legions of fans who have taken you to the 'can do whatever tf I want' position you are in nowadays is extremely distasteful. Like, this **** stopped being funny LAST september. 

 

I hope the complaining and lashing will transform into REAL backlash soon. I know frm me it's gonna be Youtube mp3 converter with miss Knwoles from now. That is if she ever bothers to puts out something again after this.

Y'all constantly complain how there's nothing to talk about yet somehow manage to produce a few pages everyday  More than any other Base that I follow

[family.guy123]

It's absurd but I'm gon' say those three words

Yes, I do,

I think it's true,

the fact we don’t know what “three words” she meant. Her mind

yes, I said I just came across it.

 

there's no science to defining someone's status as a legend and how "well remembered" they are. it's all qualitative mama.

 

* unless some serious organization randomly decides to run an actual research study about this question only ATRL thinks about.

You lack comprehension it’s ok.

 

And you think you won an argument because I ignored and didn’t reply? Lmao, girl ok. 
 

Everything you posted is easily refutable, I just didn’t care to engage anymore on that. 

[Draper.]

Anyway, new show tonight and no more than three days between shows until the end of the tour.

But I think what everyone is saying and what you seem to be arguing against is that the numbers and statistics all show the decline. That is scientific evidence.  The newer generation is unfamiliar with her work. Beyonce doesn't even make recent most famous people lists. Just because someone knows pretty hurts doesn't mean it's in the zeitgeist of the general public and that seems to be the case with a lot of her music unfortunately. 

 

Beyonce is dominating on tour today because of her goodwill with her performances. But since the choreo is slowing down and changing she will need to rely on her music going forward, and with the lack of promo or push that's going to be difficult.

I think we all need to meet in a parking lot and fist fight, then we go to the renaissance tour ending show together holding hands
